Galatians 1:6-7

I marvel that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ to another gospel:…

There is a story told of Waterloo, that a certain regiment had been so set upon by the French that one of their officers wrote to the Duke and said they would be cut in pieces unless help was sent. All that the Duke said was "Stand firm!" and the officer galloped back with the order. Again the soldier said: "It is all up with us, and we shall be destroyed; there are very few of us left even now." Again the officer went to the Duke, and again his order was "Stand firm." They did stand finn and left their bodies on the place; but England was rid of the despot. Oh, sirs, the order to-day is, "Be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord."
